Marc Okkonen, author of "Baseball Uniforms of the 20th Century" and the driving force behind the Baseball Hall of Fame's "Dressed to the Nines" uniform database, passed away on Monday at the age of 86. He was awarded SABR's Henry Chadwick Award for lifetime achievement. Okkonen also wrote the first detailed account of the Federal League and authored "2,000 Cups of Coffee" with profiles and images of players from 1900-1949 who appeared in fewer than 10 career MLB games.
